Portfolio overview
Taiyo Kagaku Co., Ltd. has been granted 15 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Taiyo Kagaku Co., Ltd. at rank #19,208 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 10.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in A23L (FOODS, FOODSTUFFS OR NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR; PREPARATION OR TREATMENT THEREOF). As a Foreign Corporation, Taiyo Kagaku Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 35.5/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 8 grants, compared with 7 in the 2015–2019 window, a +14% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. The Foreign Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.
Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. Taiyo Kagaku Co., Ltd.'s 10.7 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Taiyo Kagaku Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
